PERPETUAL DAILY CALENDAR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 14, 1908.

Application filed April 9y 1907. Serial No. 367.218.

To all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that we, RICHARD INCH and HERMAN CEAMER, Jr., citizens of the United l States, residing at Sonora, in the county of Tuolumne and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Perpetual Daily Calendars, of which the following is a specification. E

ur invention relates to a perpetual daily calendar to be hung on the wall or-otherwise suitably displayed. Its object is to provide a perpetual daily calendar adapted for the use of banks, business houses and others, which calendar shall be inexpensive to manu# l facture and simple to manipulate, and which shall be artistic, novel and practical.

The invention consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, having reference to the accompanying draw" ing's, in which the figure is a perspective view of the invention.

A represents a stiff back-piece or board of any suitable material such as card board, or mat board of appropriate weight cut in any desired size, shape or design. Suitably sel cured to this back-piece by stitching or otherwise, are three bunches of flexible strips or ,l leaves of tough paper or the like, indicated respectively at 2&3`4; The first bunch 2 corresponds as here shown to the days of the week the second bunch 3 to the months of the year; and the third bunch e to the days of the month. Manifestly though this order could be reversed or interchanged, and the size of the leaves of the bunches may be varied, if desired. These several bunches are secured at their middle to the center of the board A, one bunch above the other, and the leaves of each bunch are turnable to right or left like the leaves of a book. .In use the leaves are opened out like an open book opposing pages being suitably printed so that the day of the week like Friday, or the month like June or the day like I 14 will appear partly on one page and partly on the opposite page for the sake of symmetry. As thus arranged four slips of paper serve for the 1 days of the week, seven for the months and sixteen for the days of the month.

Any suitable means may be employed to hold the bunches opened out so that the leaves will lie liatwise and permit the calendar to be easily road. 'In the exempliiication of our invention we have simply slitted the board near its vertical edges, back of the leaves of the several bunches, to form respective pockets 56-7, into or through which the ends of the leaves of the corresponding bunches 2-3'-4L may be tucked and held.

Each day one leaf of each of pads 2 and 4 is turned from right to left and the ends stuck into respective slots 5*? at the left until the end of the week or month, when the leaves of these respective pads are turned back to the beginning. On the first of each month a leaf of pad 3 is similarly turned forward and. held until at the end of the year the leaves are turned back to January again. The calendar may thus be used indefinitely. It may be hung on the wall or supported in any other desired manner.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

An improved perpetual calendar consisting of a single back having three slots on each side of its center, the slots being arranged one above the other on each side, three pads secured to the back one above the other, one of said pads haiing sheets indicating the days of the week, the second pad having sheets indicating the months, and the third pad having sheets with numbers indicating the days of the months, each of said pads hav ing its sheets adapted to turn right and left and to enter and be held fiat by said slots.

In testimony whereof we hav set our hands in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
